Ricketts - on trial at Southampton.
RICKETTS GIVEN SAINTS TRIAL
Former England striker Michael Ricketts has been handed the opportunity to resurrect his career by Southampton manager Nigel Pearson.
The 29-year-old ex-Bolton and Middlesbrough forward, whose solitary international cap came in a friendly against Holland in 2002, is a free agent after being released by Oldham in January.
Pearson, who wants to boost Saints' firepower to help steer clear of the Championship drop zone, has given Ricketts a week-long trial at St Mary's.
"It can never hurt to have a look at players and with Michael's record I felt he was someone worth looking at," Pearson told the club's official website.
"He is a free agent so we invited him down to have a look at him in training. He's here for the week and we'll see how it goes."
Theyre getting desperate arnt they.

 Look at the size of him!! I just remember being amazed at how large his shorts were- the fat bastard. Oh yeah, and also his total lack of skill on a football field- he was shit! |

Mama.
One has made a contribution highlighted and respected by the likes of Fuller and Shawcross.
The other was an abomination in a Stoke shirt and has recently been released by two league one sides.

give me him over sidibe anyday Yeah, ok. One is in a team pushing for the Premiership and the other, having been released by the giants that are Oldham Athletic (presumably to accomodate the murderer Lee Hughes), is trawling his fat ass around to anyone he has worked with before to get a deal till the end of the season!!!! I know which I would prefer....Snigger!!!!  Please accept a smiting you ass |

The only trial he should be given is at the old bailey for impersonating a footballer.
